Device Types
MCI recognizes a basic set of device types. A device type is a set of MCI drivers that share a common command set and
are used to control similar multimedia devices or data files. Many MCI commands,
such as open (MCI_OPEN), require you to specify a device type.
The following table lists the defined device types. The current implementation
of MCI includes command sets for a subset of these devices.
